Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 633 - 488: Independent Action Brigade_4

She leaped agilely from the chair like a cat, landing on the floor. Baring her small tiger teeth, she said fiercely, "Chen Gu, take me to smash their place!"

Chen Gu laughed. "What's gotten into you? Wanting me to take you? Usually, in a situation like this, you'd have charged over and smashed their office by now."

The little demoness's bravado instantly vanished. She drooped and whispered into Chen Gu's ear, "There are three women over there, and they look like trouble..."

Indeed, the little demoness had never been afraid of men... uh, it was quite possible she'd go her whole life without a man. But she was afraid of women.

Chen Gu's interest was piqued. "Really? Then I must go see for myself what kind of people could intimidate you."

He turned and headed for the adjacent offices, Selena following behind him.

This floor originally housed only Chen Gu's Special Action Division, along with its supporting action group, administrative group, and clean-up group. The remaining space was used as a storeroom for miscellaneous items.

Now, these storerooms had been emptied, cleaned, and a copper plaque hung on the door: Independent Operation Division.

"The plaque looks pretty good," Chen Gu remarked. He was just about to step inside when suddenly a narrow blade was pointed at his ankle, and an icy voice asked, "Who are you?"

A slender figure appeared from behind the door. Her Bureau of Mystic Security uniform had clearly been tailored, fitting her like a second skin.

She was like a leopardess poised to hunt, blade in hand, coiled and ready to pounce at any moment. Her eyes, filled with a wild, murderous hunger, stared intently at Chen Gu.

Chen Gu withdrew his foot and chuckled. "It seems our new neighbors aren't very friendly."

The blade vanished. Another figure emerged from within: a tall, brawny young man whose muscles strained the fabric of his uniform.

"I am Gao Deng, captain of the Independent Operation Division. This is the highly classified office of the Division, directly under Director Ding Zhou. It's not a tourist spot for casual visits. If, as special agents, you lack even this basic awareness of confidentiality and just 'drop by' unannounced like ordinary people, I'd advise you to resign—this morning."

With that, he snorted, shot Chen Gu a contemptuous look, and exuded a dangerous aura. Chen Gu's expression turned grave, not because of Gao Deng's arrogance and disdain, but because he could sense that the man was a Seventh Energy Level adept!

Gao Deng and the woman went back inside, and the door closed automatically.

Outside, Chen Gu was still thinking. How can he be so young and already at the Seventh Energy Level? Being a practitioner isn't something one can 'cultivate' from childhood. Instead, the body must mature and become strong enough to awaken.

The little demoness peeked out from behind him and whispered, "That woman... isn't she terrifying?"

Chen Gu shook his head and turned back. When he had first arrived, the office had been nearly empty, but by now, Gong Shuxu and Chen Jixian had both come in. Chen Gu asked Gong Shuxu, "Senior, what's the background of those people?"

Gong Shuxu also shook his head. "It all happened so suddenly. I've just called a few old friends; they're helping me ask around."

While they were still in the dark about these sudden rivals, an administrative staff member took a call. After a few brief responses, the staffer stood up, their expression grim, and announced, "Everyone, they've come making demands."

"The Independent Operation Division demands a clear delineation of jurisdiction between our two sides! The Director-General and Director Ding Zhou have already conferred and scheduled a meeting this afternoon at the Number Nine Refinement Field!"

Everyone fell silent. Of all the available meeting rooms, they had specifically chosen the Number Nine Refinement Field. Clearly, they intended to settle matters with force. There was no doubt that the "prime" jurisdictional areas would be fiercely contested. If neither side was willing to yield, it would be settled in the Refinement Field—winner take all.

Chen Gu frowned. Gao Deng was at the Seventh Energy Level, but the strongest on their side were only at the Sixth Energy Level. And the confrontation was set for this very afternoon. What were they going to do?
